Bay of Plenty Polytechnic

We’re committed to helping you reach your potential through supported learning, inspired teaching and programmes that provide what you - and industry - really need. This is a place to build lifelong relationships with like-minded students and passionate staff, while making essential industry contacts.

Our tutors are hand picked to ensure our students get only the very best. Passionate about what they do, they make the effort to identify their students' preferred learning styles and match them with the requirements of the courses they teach.

We believe:

Good teaching is centered on the student, motivates and facilitates learning, encourages discovery and problem solving, and celebrates successes

Good teachers 'know their stuff', continue to keep up to date and have outstanding facilitation skills

Good teaching is about 'transformation' – so rather than just adding to what students already know, it’s about transforming existing knowledge and creating new knowledge together
